I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.
The gimmick was you couldn't do it with tools.
You can't use anything at all if it's effective actually.
Fuck the rules, it's 3 million, I'm going to do whatever is necessary to smash that glass 😎
The images are made to look like CCTV footage of a bus stop, but there is zero chance they left that much money in there unprotected. You could just ram it with a car and haul it home. Either it's fake money or it was only there for a day with a crew for filming.
There was a contracted security guard there at all times, a rule that you couldn't use any tools, and they called it off after a day when the bus stop frame started to weaken. Only $500 of real money was placed on top of a bunch of fake money.
There isn't any actual money inside.
The real gimmick is there isn't really 3 million in there.
Wanna bet?
You couldn't as you weren't allowed to. It was a bad marketing campaign because people think "omg why it's so easy".
Yeah, not allowing any tools shows a lack of confidence in their glass.
The CEO that stood behind his company's bullet proof glass while an employee shot it with an AK or something knew how to do it.
Walk up with steel stilettos and a practiced kick and you might have a shot.
I think they limited you to only being able to kick it
What is the point then. I'd be pissed if someone was able to break a regular window by kicking it. If you have to prove that your bullet proof glass can stand up to kicks I'm not going to be confident in your product. Let people bring their own shit and show what it would take to get through it. You know, unless it sucks, which I assume to be the actual case here.
Proving the strenght of the glass is only their secondary goal. Their primary goal is marketing, getting their name out there, and having people talk about their brand.
And hey, they sure succeeded, as I've seen this exact image way too f-ing often.
Go kick a window in your house right now. If you don't live in a highrise, you can almost certainly kick it out.
Please don't. Chances are high that the window is not made of security glass and if you kick the glass in, you'll get serious cuts in your leg. That'll range from a flesh wound to life threatening damage in a blood vessel.
That makes sense. When I read that, my immediate thought was: demo saw.
Are you gonna tell the guy who shows up with a .500 Smith and Wesson revolver he’s not allowed to shoot it?
